Hi BatmanFanatik. You can have additional contour 2 boxes in your home, however, you would need to rent them from Cox in order for you to be able to enjoy all the features that you love. Thanks, Lisa - Cox Support Forums Moderator

    If a customers does not return a cable-box to Cox, does Cox block its MAC address on the network?

        still a little confused... as I am happy to learn I can have more than 1 contour box in the house... but, if I picked up one from Amazon or ebay.. would it work or would (pardon the pun) cox block it?

        What would happen If I just plugged it in where the mini-box was originally at??

      @Bruce, if the cable box is not returned to Cox, then an equipment fee is assessed on the customer's account. Cox typically does not provision cable boxes over the phone. The receivers must be drop-shipped to a customer's home, picked up at a local Cox retail location, or installed professionally by one of our service technicians. -Kevin M. Cox Support Forum Moderator
